This role sits at the center of our engineering organization - defining architecture and design for therapy devices, ventilators and connected-care platforms, and ensuring that what we build is safe, secure, compliant and sustainable.\nYou will operate as a hands-on technical authority: making design decisions, resolving complex technical risks, mentoring engineers, and representing software architecture in cross-functional and regulatory forums. This is a role for someone who wants deep technical ownership of products that directly improve patients' ability to breathe and sleep.\nYour role:\nTechnical Skills\nDeep expertise in C++(preferred) / C / Embedded C; strong grasp of real-time and resource-constrained design.\nRTOS concepts, scheduling, concurrency, task frameworks, memory and power optimisation.\n Microcontroller/SoC platforms (e.g. ARM Cortex-M / STM32 class), board bring-up and hardware-software integration.\nCommunication protocols and connectivity - BLE/Bluetooth, cellular/modem, UART/SPI/I2C, and secure firmware update mechanisms.\nSoftware architecture practice - modelling, design patterns, interface design, modularity and platform thinking.\n Verification fundamentals: unit verification, static analysis, code coverage, test automation and CI/CD (ADO / GitHub).\nCybersecurity for embedded/connected devices: threat modelling, cryptography fundamentals, secure boot and signed updates.\nArchitecture & Technical Design\nDefine, document and govern the software architecture for assigned products and platforms, including decomposition, interfaces, data flows and deployment topology.\nProduce and maintain architecture artefacts - SAD, SDD, interface specifications and design rationale - to regulated standards.\nDrive architectural decisions on real-time behaviour, memory and power constraints, connectivity (BLE/cellular/modem), and hardware-software integration.\nLead design reviews, technical risk assessments and trade-off analyses; ensure decisions are recorded with clear rationale.\nEvaluate and drive modernisation, refactoring and reuse across platforms to reduce duplication and improve maintainability.\nRegulated Product Development & Quality\nEnsure architecture and design comply with IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971 (risk management) and applicable EU MDR / FDA requirements.\nOwn end-to-end requirement-to-test traceability for assigned areas, ensuring design elements trace to requirements and verification evidence.\nContribute to software safety classification, hazard analysis, FMEA and risk-control design.\nSupport CAPA, CAP and DCR activities with root-cause analysis, impact assessment and design remediation.\nEnsure adherence to internal QMS processes and design-history-file completeness.\nSecurity & Secure SDLC\nEmbed secure-by-design principles into architecture; support threat modelling and security risk assessment.\nOwn architecture-level inputs to SBOM, SOUP/OTS assessment, VAR and vulnerability remediation.\nChampion secure SDLC adoption within the engineering teams.\nExecution & Cross-Functional Leadership\nPartner with Engineering Managers on technical feasibility, effort estimation, sequencing and resource planning.\nRepresent software architecture with cross-functional partners - Systems, Quality, Regulatory, Product, PMO, Security, Operations and Manufacturing.\nSurface technical risks, dependencies and decision points early, with proposed solutions rather than escalations alone.\nProvide technical input into release planning, Release Train cadence and sprint execution within an Agile/ADO way of working.\nCapability Building & Technical Leadership\nMentor and coach engineers; act as buddy/mentor within the competency ramp-up framework and support progression toward independent (L2) execution.\nLead knowledge-transfer for products transitioning ownership into the India organisation.\nDrive engineering excellence: code quality, design standards, review discipline, static analysis and unit-verification rigour.\nChampion AI-assisted engineering (e.g. GitHub Copilot across the V-model) to improve productivity without compromising quality or compliance.\nContribute to knowledge-sharing sessions, technical forums and reusable engineering assets.\nYou're the right fit if:\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.\n10+ years in embedded software development, with a minimum of 5 years in an architect or lead-architect capacity.\nProven track record architecting embedded products in a regulated domain - medical devices strongly preferred (aerospace, automotive safety or industrial safety-critical also considered).\nDemonstrated ownership of a product or platform architecture through full lifecycle, from concept to release and sustaining.\nExcellent written and verbal communication; can explain complex trade-offs to non-software audiences.\nStrong technical influence without authority - able to align cross-functional stakeholders on architecture decisions.\nHow we work together\nWe believe that we are better together than apart. This is an office-based role, which means working in person at least 3 days per week.\nAbout Philips\nAre you ready to do the work of your life to help the lives of others?
